Description: The School District, in partnership with Mastery and with support from the William Penn Foundation, is seeking to pilot a coaching program that targets a population of District teachers who are currently not served by existing District coaching programs and builds informal leadership capacity within schools to increase the opportunity for professional growth for all teachers. The ultimate goal is to build a program that yields significant gains in student growth and achievement through improved instructional practice, attained through peer coaching. The purpose of this program is to support the creation of an effective, school-based peer-coaching model that leverages excellent teachers to coach other teachers who are either adequate or good at their craft and want to improve from adequate to good or from good to great. Through this program, District master teachers will coach fellow District teachers who voluntarily Questions/Comments are due at [email protected] no later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 6, 2015. Please reference the Resolution Number and include your name and email address. SRC Resolution Summary 10.15.15 Page 2 of 16 Final participate in one of three coaching cycles per year. The program expects to impact 30 teachers with 1:1 coaching in each building and 90 teachers across three schools through comprehensive professional development opportunities. The participating schools are Nebinger, McDaniel, and Mayfair, each of which submitted an application of interest to participate in the program. Time for coaching will either be scheduled during release time or compensated prep payback time. Additionally, coaches will be compensated for time spent on the project outside of school hours. The coaches and their principal will receive ongoing professional development from Mastery throughout the school year. Mastery will compile progress data and work with the School District team to access and analyze data available from the District at the teacher and school level to gauge impact of the program. While the focus of the project is on creating a sustainable model inside participating schools for providing effective professional development through peer to peer coaching, the Mastery team with also work with the School District’s Office of Effectiveness to create central leadership for the program so that the District will be able to run the program internally without Mastery supports in the future. The grant funds will pay for EC and release time for peer coaches to support teachers during the school day and after school; for teachers to participate in select professional development after school, and for substitutes when coaches or principals are attending professional development during the day. These funds are directly connected to Resolution A-4, approved by the School Reform Commission on August 20, 2015. ABC Code/Funding Source $40,080.00 A-3 (Updated 10.6.15) Operating Budget: $10,000 Contract Ratification with The New Teacher Project – Candidate Phone Screening Services RESOLVED, that the School Reform Commission hereby ratifies the execution, delivery and performance by The School District of Philadelphia, through the Superintendent, of a contract with The New Teacher Project, Inc, for principal candidate phone screening services, for an amount not to exceed $10,000, for the period commencing February 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015. Description: The School District of Philadelphia’s Office of Recruiting is committed to hiring excellent principals to lead School District schools. To assist the School District with the initial screening of principal applicants, TNTP will conduct principal phone interviews with candidates identified by the School District, using interview questions and a scoring rubric developed by the School District. TNTP will take notes during the phone screening and provide such notes and its screening score to the School District. The School District will use the phone screen notes and score as part of its principal hiring process. This ratification is a result of TNTP being unable to agree to the District's limited contract terms by the required LCA process deadline. As a result, and in the interest of adhering to the principal selection and hiring timelines, TNTP provided the assistance with principal screening for which we were originally contracting. Since then, our legal teams have been in communication and we do not foresee any complications with future contracts. ABC Code/Funding Source $10,000.00 1100-055-9400-283f-3311 Operating

  • The School District of Philadelphia
    The School District of Philadelphia Potential Impact of $94.5M Revenue Reduction on School Budgets Methodology and Notes Key Green Text = Can Be Cut Red Text = Cannot Be Cut Notes: The “Enrollment Teachers” category includes Enrollment Driven Prep Teachers. 2011-12 budget data is post mid-year (December 2011) budget cuts. The Operating Budget Allotment in 2011-12 and 2012-13 is equivalent to the Per School and Per Student Allotments in 2010-11. Enrollment numbers are as projected in the spring preceding each budget year for the purpose of developing school budgets. All data is from the Staffing Management System (SMS). Data is as of 4/26/12. What can and can’t be cut? A decrease in operating revenues would have to be offset by cuts in the Operating Budget only, not in Grants. Grants budget information is shown for reference only. This analysis assumes the Enrollment Driven Teachers category is not cuttable because of maximum class sizes in the PFT collective bargaining agreement. This analysis assumes the following are not “cuttable” in FY13 because of state and federal service requirements; the extent of budget cuts that were already made in FY12; and the time that that would be required to reduce costs by changing the School District’s service model. o Gifted Support o Nursing Services o Special Education – High Incidence and Low Incidence o English as a Second Language (ESOL) o Bilingual Counselor Assistants Why are enrollments and poverty rates provided? Enrollment is important for context for Enrollment Driven Teachers (100% enrollment driven) and Operating Budget Allotment (partially enrollment driven).
